Yeah, this is a good idea. I’m honestly stumped as to why every forum idea I’ve submitted this week is tanking. I’ve had pretty good luck in the past, and I don’t really get it. It seems like almost everything that isn’t a direct reference to a popular site is downvoated, and sorry, I just can’t bring myself to submit an eHarmony or Fox News or 4chan parody when there are already a ton of them up there.

Well to be honest, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Half the other kids are saying embarrbuming **** like “daddy has a male reproductive organ and mommy has a woman's genitals and I have one too”, but you’re not hearing it because you’re not around them all the time. He will eventually learn not to say boobies everywhere he goes. If he’s only 2 I doubt you can reason with him and explain that it’s not polite to say boobies in public. But I dunno, try to get him interested in dinosaurs or trains and he’ll probably start pretending he’s a train and forget about saying body part names.

Well, I had a forum idea from last week that rated pretty high and it was automatically resubmitted for me this week. That was nice, but then the first five votes it got this week were downvotes, so it’s gone. I’m kind of undecided if I should submit it again, or if people are so tired of seeing it that they’d just downvote it.

I got at least 6 chocolate scoops, had 2 angry reply submissions accepted, and one forum submission ended up being ranked pretty high. If that all got me a -1, I’m kind of thinking that no matter how well I do, I’m going to screw myself.

I like the idea of random rollovers to spread out usage. For the people that really want to have compatible rollover times for doing domination, maybe you could offer the option of being able to pay something like 10 or 20 brownie points to choose your rollover time.

There’s no need to rely on South Park to get the lowdown on scientology. The **** scientologists actually say (ahem, Tom Cruise video? The dianetics book?) is bizarre and stupid enough that I would hope even a half-tarded toddler would know to point at them and laugh. Or I’m just a SP that wants to keep your thetans trapped in your bodies forever.

If the submissions with the fewest votes were forced to get more views, maybe that would help cut down the glut of threads/replies. For instance, I submitted something on Tuesday I think, and it’s gotten a total of 4 votes. Not that I think that particular submission was amazing and deserves to get more upvotes, but if it were seen more, there would be a better chance that more people would downvote it off and the clutter would decrease. Or it would get more votes and become more competitive with the others.

Terra Online messed up for me earlier today, too. I finished pwning the whole forum, but it never proceeded to the next screen where you move on. So there was a big empty forum left, nothing could be clicked on and refreshing the screen did nothing. But my character tab now says I’ve pwn’d the forum, so it must have gone through.
